"All communists are atheists, whether they live in Moscow, Berlin, Paris, London, New York, or Los Angeles. They may not be baptized, married, or buried with religious ceremonies. The communist Must not only be without religion, but he must be antireligious.

"The most tragic and appalling situation in Soviet Russia is the fact that many millions of young children attending the public schools are taught each day hatred of the conception of God and of all religious faith and beliefs.
